I migliori ristorantinella città San bartolomeo al mare della Imperia

03/01/2026: We had an unforgettable evening. The setting is truly enchanting. The wine selection is excellent. Each dish was beautifully presented, and I personally recommend the risotto. The choice of main courses is also overwhelming; each one is worth trying! The desserts are delicious. The staff is kind and professional. We will definitely be back. We highly recommend it.

01/01/2026: First of all, Happy New Year. When you enter certain places, expectations are high, sometimes due to the "reviews." I'll get to the point: the location and restaurant are beautiful, the welcome and the professional table setting are excellent, and so far so good. Let's talk about the menu shown in the photo, at €95 excluding wine and drinks. It's the last dinner of 2025 that you want to enjoy with your partner. Upon reading, the menu, destined to remind us of a memorable evening, is certainly quite harmonious, with unusual pairings that immediately set my taste buds on edge. We chose a very popular white wine from Vulture, and so far so good. To begin, a greeting from the kitchen: "leek and whitebait tart," which in my opinion was a little unbalanced, followed by an excellent tartare with a good seasoning. I appreciated the crunch of the toasted hazelnuts, which, given the good execution, gives us hope for a prelude of flavors. Here begins the flat ECG, without a jolt to listen to with our palates. You'd understand the disappointment—mine, my companion's, and some of the other diners at the nearby table—if you'd tried it yourself. The scallop and Jerusalem artichoke were flat in flavor, and the scallop was actually thinly sliced. The pancetta looked good, but didn't taste good. It lacked structure; a shame, the idea was good, the execution was terrible. The cuttlefish with minted beans tasted good, but it was a shame the dish was cold, and the sauce was consequently too cold. The squid was sparse; I only had one piece with 10 beans. First course, very engaging to read, but little in substance "Fregola with turnip tops (only the chlorophyll), clams, scrambled oysters and Roman conciato. A very disappointing macrobiotic preparation, the strong, concentrated flavour of the turnip tops cancelled everything out. Here too, the idea was good, but the execution was terrible and flat. Even the cod, now the prince of the seas, was downgraded and hidden under an indistinguishable blanket of combinations" mashed potatoes and cream of cauliflower "bad execution (in my opinion, obviously). Last but not least, the phantom tasting of cotechino and auspicious lentils. Nothing to do with tradition, not to mention the risk of the hollandaise sauce which negatively distorted the simplicity of the cotechino's flavour. Well, I won't go any further. Sometimes we should follow proverbs, for example "He who wants too much, ends up with nothing" and I conclude by saying that cooking is the taste and art of the Soul. Experimenting is fine, but tasting is essential. Happy New Year!

06/04/2026: We went to the Dark Ages on Saturday evening. We had farinata and really good pizza, with excellent ingredients. The beer was also excellent. They offered a very unique daily menu, again using genuine, non-commercial ingredients that we'll definitely try in the future. Kindness and courtesy are the order of the day. If you go to San Bartolomeo, you have to try the Dark Ages.

06/04/2026: The food was good, although the pizza served as an appetizer was burnt on the edges and bottom. That said, the service was rather peculiar: dishes were brought randomly, leaving half the table starving while the other continued to receive food. And finally, the atmosphere: first and foremost, I would avoid chipped tableware; it's unhygienic because the most porous parts are exposed to bacteria. More lighting is needed, and the benches are really uncomfortable. Either you want to be innovative or you want to be medieval; the mix of modern and historical dishes isn't very convincing. Furthermore, if you're offering vegan dishes, it's confusing to use names for dishes made with animal proteins (like vegan shrimp).

02/03/2026: Excellent pizzas, friendly service, great value for money 🌟 Top service
